Katharine McPhee is a mom! The American Idolalum, 36, welcomed her first child with husband David Foster, 71, and the happy news was confirmed on February 24. “Katharine McPhee and David Foster have welcomed a healthy baby boy,” a rep for the couple shared with People. “Mom, Dad and son are all doing wonderfully.” The two are so incredibly happy, and fans were so excited to learn the news.
Fans learned on October 8, 2020 that Katharine and David were expecting, after the then-expectant mom was spotted out and about shopping with her husband. Onlookers and photographers could just glimpse Katharine’s growing baby bump beneath her fitted shirt. In the days that followed, fans got an even better look at Katharine as her pregnant belly continued to grow!

One cheeky post that Katharine made on February 10, seemingly days before she gave birth, was an “Instagram vs. Reality” carousel of images. The first two photos featured Katharine all glammed up and showing off her pregnant belly. The latter two snaps in the post, however, featured paparazzi photos of Katharine running errands while she was out and about, totally decked out in sweat shirts, leggings, and more comfy clothes and putting her pregnant belly on display.
Not only were fans so excited about Katharine’s news, but so were her very close friends. The singer and actress was seen out to dinner with famous friendsMeghan Markle and Prince Harry just after her pregnancy news was made public. The couples celebrated the happy news and enjoyed a meal together while practicing safety precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
